From the hills north of Venice this fresh bright white is loaded with wild flowers and citrus and the tang of crisp pineapple. Yet there is nice weight, with good balance and length, great freshness to the fruit and some good depth too. L&S (May 2023)

A little bit of skin contact. No oak. Open, ripe fruit – yellow plum, stone fruit. Deep, rounded and full of flavour, with just the right freshness to balance. Drinking range: 2024 - 2025 Rating: 16 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Jul 2024)
Azienda Agricola Visintini
Founded in 1973 by Andrea Visintini, this twenty-four hectare estate has vineyards in Collio, Collio Orientali and Grave del Friuli, and is now controlled by the new generation of Oliviero and his twin sisters Cinzia and Palmira. The wines are beautifully made, each with wonderful expression of both the grape and the 'terroir'. Vineyard practices are now entirely biodynamic, and certified this year. These wines are also extraordinarily good value in what is generally a highly priced region.
With the 2014 vintage the family have unveiled the brilliant new labels for each of the wines - with the beautiful botanical drawings of flavours or fruits that relate to the flavour profiles in each different varietal. The wines are great too - in a far from straightforward vintage - beautiful fruit definition and lovely bright minerality.
